University Graduate School

About Marquette University

We are a Catholic, Jesuit University. Since 1881, Marquette
University has been known for its commitment to educational excellence in the

aims not only for the mind, but also the heart and soul. The experience is more
than an acquisition of knowledge; it's a transformational education that
challenges you to develop the goals and values that will shape the rest of your
life.
